ShoreMaster Dock Hinges – Modular Connection System for RS4, RS7, TS9 & More
ShoreMaster dock hinges are designed to securely connect dock sections, gangways, and shoreline attachments while allowing for natural movement from waves and changing water levels. Built around a pivot-based connection system, these hinges provide both strength and flexibility—ensuring your dock system stays aligned and performs reliably in varying conditions.
This product group allows you to select the exact hinge components needed for your specific ShoreMaster dock configuration, including RS4, RS7, TS9, FTS9, flat surface, and ledge mount applications.
How ShoreMaster Dock Hinges Work
ShoreMaster hinges utilize a modular two-piece design:
- Side A Hinge: Attaches to one dock section or accessory
- Side B Hinge: Attaches to the connecting dock section, gangway, or mounting surface
- Hinge Hardware Bolt Bag: Includes the required pins, bolts, and fasteners to complete the connection
Once installed, the two hinge sides are joined together using heavy-duty hinge pins and hardware, creating a strong yet flexible pivot point.
Important: To complete a full hinge assembly, you will need:
- (1) Side A Hinge
- (1) Side B Hinge
- (1) Hinge Hardware Bolt Bag
